ENTRIES have closed for the Wychavon Parish Games.

Secretary Sue Collins reports an increase in entries from last year with new parishes entering.

The games start on Saturday with the bell boating as part of Fladbury Paddle Club’s regatta on the River Avon behind Pershore Leisure Centre.

The next one-day event is the men’s five-a-side football on Sunday, July 10, at Badsey Recreation Ground.

The knockout events will start in early August.
